Was looking forward to going ice fishing this past weekend on one of our local lakes. Took a drive around and saw some guys out there. But not many, along with a lot of standing water on top of the ice. Decided it just was not worth taking a chance for a few perch. I've had a couple close calls when I was younger. I no longer take chances on the ice. This winter has not been conducive to making good solid blue ice in our area. Lots of freezing and thawing have made the ice unpredictable. Unless we get an extended cold spell, this will be the second year in a row where I have not ice fished.

HaHaHaHa! Exactly what I needed this morning!

Does this set up seem top heavy at all? When sighting does it want to roll side to side. Probably sounds like a dumb question, but I've never shot anything like this, so I'm curious. And by the way, I love the looks of your set up and I'm sure it is the nuts for predator hunting!

Looks awesome! Nice job!

A bow hunt in Alaska with some panninig for gold mixed in. Done out of a bush camp, of course.

Wow! That looks like a real sweet set up! Come back and give us a review after the first hunt. You got it going for song dogs now!

Nothing goes unnoticed in your woods with those eagle eyes! Cool find, again!

updownrubdick is actually quite entertaining! Kind of missed her/him/it, lately. Always brings a smile to my face when I see a lefty pitching a fit.

The Democrats boycotting the inauguration, signs in peoples yards saying "not my president", worthless celebrities and clueless businesses turning their backs and putting their heads in the sand. All have me just shaking my head in disgust. Instead of trying to come together to better this country, they just create more division. It's this division that is putting the USA and the world on a slippery slope. In the past eight years, I have not agreed with Obama and his policies, but he was OUR president! I did not turn my back on him or my country! I did what I could, and "worked", in a small way to do something positive every day to better myself, my family and my community. The words of the late great Merle Haggert, "If You Don't Love It Leave It" ring as true now as ever before! Wake up! We are all in this together! No matter what political party you belong to. Or what color skin you have. Or what religion you may or may not adhere to. We need to all work together to, Make America Great Again!

Always good to keep using what's under the top knot! What a great idea! Looks so rustic and cool! One of these would look great in my den/study with my other outdoor things. So I too, will "steal" your idea. Thanks for sharing wooly!

I've been using single pin for quite a while now. HHA has been a good and durable sight for me.

Looks beautiful there Biz! Cudo's for sticking out the fishing trip, bet dinner will be great. Enjoy the nice weather and vacation!

Sounds cool to me! Have fun with it!

Nice bow! I'm tempted to go "look" at one. My Mathews MQ-32 is 17 years old now. Is that the 5, 6, or 7 inch brace bow? Wishing you a fun and successful hunt! Look forward to hearing all about it!

From everything I've read so far, he seems like a good hard working guy. And an avid hunter. Congratulations young man!

Nice catch! What did you get em on?

Sounds like you had a good charter captain and a great fishing trip! Once you get over the soreness in your arms, you will have a good fishing story. Just remember, the fish get bigger each time you tell it!

I can honestly say, having one of these beautiful displays in my possession, that they are absolutely breath taking in workmanship! The detail, design and quality wood is outstanding. If anyone out there is looking to show off or display their hard earned turkey trophies, this is the way to do it! Once you have one of these in your hands, you will see for yourself! Believe me, you will not be disappointed!

Dat a big bow'gate'a rat der!

Thats it!

phade, do you have a cam related website? If so, could you post a link? I'd be very interested in checking it out, if you do! Thanks.

That turkeyfeathers sure is a master of disguise!

Happy to hear you were not hurt! Foot a little sore tonight? Any day out with the dogs is a good day! And cool finds!

I wish I could help and answer this for ya. But it seems I suck at coyote hunting! Last year was our first at calling and we did ok but not great with five kills. This year we are 0 for 3 times out. Was out today and hunted six set ups on three properties. Saw a total of two but couldn't get them to come out of the thick stuff and commit, for a shot. Both were singles on different properties. And both seemed to come to a challenge bark/howl. Our best distress calls from e-calls and mouth calls have been ignored. I picked up a light, yesterday. And our next outing will be at night, hoping to change our luck. One thing for sure, if they are hunted, they are no pushover! We have yet to kill one from the same set up twice. So I too, will follow this thread for any tips and advice.

Brings back memories! There was one kid down the road who had a bike like this. He was the envy of us all! Got to ride it a few times. It was hands down, the best wheelie bike I ever rode.
